Modest learns the definition of shipping. The world momentarily falters on its axis. Next thing, she’ll be writing fanfic…

Officer: ALRIGHT, Dragul, stop banging on the cell door! What do you want?

Dragul: Asylum. Here is a full statement confessing to my deeds, with 385 other offences to be taken into consideration. And here is my instrument of abdication, written and signed in my blood. Now, you MUST find the medusa girl and repatriate her to Yeld as soon as possible – once she is installed as monarch there, her growing fanfic powers will be largely confined to a domain suited to them. If you can bring her to me, or me to her – and soon – I believe I will still be able to force her across a portal between the worlds. If you do not… you will pray for it to be as simple as a few rampaging Pokémon…

Ah! Finally I understand what the heck people have been saying when they say “I’d ship it”! Seeing “ship” and “relationship” in the same panel made me think, “Oh, DUH! How come I never make that connection!?”

im everywhere… and i’ve been here since the beginning… or at least since the 3rd or forth page. i dont go crazy as much in here. though the day for me to meet jake is coming… dunno when, but it is coming!

There’s something I’ve always wondered and been bugged about in fanfiction, why do they take 2 straight or gay characters and make them suddenly gay or straight? Why do they pair them up with the bad guy? It’s like they never even bothered to watch the show. I saw one where Tony Stark and Loki were together. I got that far before I threw it down in discust. If you want gay characters make original characters who are gay. If you want to write fanfiction write it so it matches the real characters. The only thing that bothers me more is anime/manga fan fiction. If you are writing in English in the name of Heaven don’t use Japanese suffixes!

I think fan fiction gives you the freedom to do whatever you want, which is super appealing to some people and not to others. I know for a lot of people unconventional pairings are what they want to see and are the whole point. I’m not a fan fiction expert though, so there’s probably more to it than that.

This comment seems like maybe its on the wrong comic? Anyway, the Mermaids weren’t sure if Modest would still come if she knew where they were taking her and that she’d be leaving Marah behind. Plus, they’re jerks.
